CRED, widely recognized as a fintech unicorn, is reportedly teaming up with IndusInd Bank to introduce a co-branded credit card. Although neither company has officially confirmed the news, this move signals a strategic push into the competitive landscape of fintech–banking partnerships.
Why does this matter?
Co-branded credit cards are rapidly gaining traction as banks and fintech players leverage each other’s strengths. Many users have long anticipated such a move from CRED, given its existing offerings like credit score tracking, hidden charge detection, bill payment reminders, and cashback rewards.
With millions of active users, CRED holds a significant advantage in terms of user insights—though the company emphasizes its commitment to data privacy. This deep understanding of its community enables CRED to design a card tailored to its users’ needs. Such a product wouldn’t just enhance customer loyalty but also create new revenue opportunities, aligning with CRED’s goal of achieving full-year profitability by FY26.
